Absolutely. They should focus on the sports that have always been clean, like track & field, and weight lifting.

It appears their concern is not so much that there was endemic doping in the sport, but that the governing body either turned a blind eye or was complicit in the activity. If you read Dick Pound's quote, removing them from the Olympics would be a tactic to force the UCI to clean house and prove that they are partners in trying to run a clean sport, rather than part of the problem. It was also mentioned that a similar threat WAS used with the weightlifting federation.

MTA: And as I read this, I hear that LA's 2000 Olympic medal is history...
